Libraries Behind Bars

A couple of prison library stories.

News-Press.com has a Story on Boy Scout Brian Stewart to help establish an entire library at the Lee County Jail in FL. Working hard for that Eagle badge!

“The inmates read extensively because they don’t have a lot to do,” Scruggs said. “Sometimes the jail is a place where people learn to love to read.”


inlandempireonline has a Story on the new library in The California Institution for Women near Chino. The law library, established more than 15 years ago, is one of the most complete and largest in the state\’s prison system.

But do they have The Prisoners Dictionary?
